The biggest overlap between stand-up comedy and wine used to the fact that comedy clubs offered cheapo glasses of the stuff to help patrons fill their nightly two-drink minimums.

But Laurie Forster, the self-described “Stand-Up Sommelier,” uses comedy to demystify the world of wine.

The host of the WBAL radio show “The Sipping Point” is touring the country with her “Drink Your Glass Off Tour” — including a Thursday, April 10 show in Denver.

Forster’s “Something to Wine About” show is a combination of stand-up comedy, wine tasting, games and improvisation, according to a press release. And while this reporter has always been suspicious of stand-up that needs props or theatrical trappings to get its point across, he also appreciates the value of a couple stiff drinks at a comedy show.
